Chrome Mirrors?

Has anyone done this before.. What would be the best option? To repaint my current caps or get metal ones..
I've looked through what Kamei offer and I was wondering if the saloon polo mirrors are the same as the hatchback?

Fair play for going for something different - each to their own and all that, but are you serious? Personally I think that they look cheap and nasty thats all.

Im suprised halfords dont sell them with the other shiny stickon stuff....

Yes I am being serious and I thought it would be something different, I have seen the whole black/silver theme done so many times. I have my own thoughts in mind of what I want the car to look like, plus worst come to worst if they dont look good, they are so simple to take off.

i can imagine the estate mirrors would be the same yes. But the polo pictured there is a mark 4?

Not sure about those Kamei mirror caps myself, looks a bit odd when you can still see the red around the back of the mirror still. It would look a lot better if you can finish your own mirror casings (or a spare set) with some form of chrome paint/polishing, I think.

But if you like 'em, get 'em! Not seen anyone else fitting them.

Cheers

That's exactly what I was thinking, I just don't have any idea on how good they will come out if they do get painted.

They look the same, get onto vagcat.com and compare the part numbers

I like those mirrors too, especially the bit of red

They might look better on the car than in a pic.

I'm all up for doing different things (hence my rear view mirror) so go for it Max

id use your own mirrors max...or get some from a scrappy to test on first

The only problem is my mirror cap is cracked, so I'd be having to get a new one anyway so I thought ideally I'd just get metal ones, but as far as I am aware they do not exist!

I'm still only 19! Get another car when I graduate

Use the cracked one as a test pilot for spraying it silver! If you mess it up, hey you needed a new one anyway!

Why not get some carbon fibre ones like mine.

This is what they look like on the car: -
